Foreign Service and Canadian Foreign Service Alumni Forum
“The best defence of peace is not power, but the removal of the causes of war, and international agreements which will put peace on a stronger foundation, than the terror of destruction.” Lester B. Pearson*
The Canadian Foreign Service has played a vital role in the promotion and protection of Canada’s national interests around the globe. They have furthered international peace and security, advanced international economic development, helped sell our goods and services, managed the flow of visitors and migrants to our country, assisted travelling Canadians, and projected our culture and values throughout the world.
Beechwood is proud to acknowledge the contribution of Foreign Service by providing a significant saving on many of Beechwood’s offerings.
We are proud to have collaborated with the Professional Association of Foreign Service Officers and the Canadian Foreign Service Alumni Forum on this initiative. We look forward to further developing this partnership to honour those who have served Canada and those who have lost their lives in service of our country.
